Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 344 Shrinking Potion and APTX-4869!!

“Today, we’re going to brew a new potion, the shrinking potion…”

Professor Snape stood behind the podium, introducing the shrinking potion while scanning the students below with an indifferent gaze, his gaze paused for a second when he saw Harry, the woman, but quickly passed.

Professor Snape wrote down the materials, methods, steps, and precautions needed to make the shrinking potion on the blackboard, and the students below all took quill pens and swiped down on parchment.

After Professor Snape had finished his explanation, he let the students start brewing potions themselves, and as for himself, he began to walk around the class.

The pressure on the little wizards suddenly increased, especially the little wizards of Gryffindor House, and Professor Snape was known to be the most disgusted with the students of Gryffindor House.

The little wizard of Slytherin House is a little better, but not much better, and if something goes wrong, Professor Snape will not show mercy either.

The other wizards were in pairs, such as Harry and Ron, and Hermione was in a team with Neville.

As for Toby and Jamie, they were asked by Professor Snape to be in a group of people because their potions level was much better than other minor wizards, and if they were to form a group with others, then their partner would not learn anything.

It only took Toby and Jamie both ten minutes to brew the shrinking potion, which was a bright and dazzling green.

Other little wizards, some are still processing materials, and some have already begun to brew, but they are basically just starting out.

Toby and Jamie showed the boiled shrinking potion to Snape 190, who nodded expressionlessly and went elsewhere.

The shrinking potion is a magical potion, which can not only make the drinking creature chapter, but also the light of the Shui Ji Guang Hui, search for the night of his illness.

For example, if you drop the shrinkage potion on the body of a frog, then the frog will degenerate into a tadpole, which is equivalent to rejuvenation.

However, the shrinkage potion is time-sensitive, and once the time is up, it will return to its original appearance, in addition, the shrinkage potion also has an antidote, once the shrinkage potion is drunk, as long as the antidote is taken, it will return to its original state.

“What comes to mind when you think of the shrinkage potion?”

Toby and Jamie, who had already completed their task, were together, and even though Professor Snape was very unhappy with it, he had warned Jamie many times that noble Slytherins should not always hang out with the stupid lions of Gryffindor.

But both Toby and Jamie went their own way about this, and they didn’t care what others said, plus the magic of the two was powerful, and no one dared to say anything to them.

“You can think of it, I can think of it, you thought of the drug APTX-4866 in that detective anime, right?”

Toby obviously knew what Jamie was going to say.

“I remember that the effect of that drug seemed to induce programmed cell death, but at the same time strengthen the activity of telomerase, thereby increasing the proliferative ability of cells.”

“Normally, it leads to the death of the user, but in rare cases, due to the accidental action of the cell’s self-destruction program, all cells except nerve cells1, muscles, internal organs, hand hair, etc. are degenerated into childhood or adolescence, Toby recalls.”

“Do you think there is a resemblance between APTX-4869 and the shrinking potion?”

Jamie said.

“There are similarities in similarities, but APTX-4869 in the anime is obviously an unfinished drug, not only has great toxicity, but also has uncertainty.”

“The effect of the shrinkage potion is not as strong as APTX-4869, and it is time-sensitive, but the shrinkage potion is not fatal.”

“The effect of APTX-4869 is permanent, it cannot be restored without taking the antidote, and the effect of the shrinkage potion is time-sensitive, and once the time has passed, it will restore the prototype.”

Toby thought for a moment and said.

“So, do you think it is possible for us to develop a magical version of APTX-4869, of course, this medicine will not have all kinds of shortcomings like in the anime.”

Jamie said.

“If it can really be developed, then this medicine is equivalent to a rejuvenation medicine, which may not be comparable to the elixir of life, but then the entire magical world will be shocked.”

Toby said, and then he shook his head.

“But it is too difficult to develop a rejuvenation medicine, and it is not that no one in the wizarding world has tried it before, but it has failed.”

Wizards do live longer than Muggles, but wizards are not immortal, they also grow old and die, unless they have a Philosopher’s Stone, or make Horcruxes.

But the former is too rare, the latter is too evil, and both methods have various drawbacks.

Once the rejuvenation medicine is really developed, the entire wizarding world will set off an uproar.

However, throughout the ages, it is not that there are no wizards who have tried to refine the rejuvenation medicine, but no wizard has been able to succeed, which shows that the rejuvenation medicine is basically impossible like the elixir of immortality.

“Wizarding magic, coupled with Muggle research in biology, may not be impossible to study rejuvenation medicine.”

Jamie said that the predecessor can’t do it, doesn’t mean that the descendants can’t do it, isn’t there a saying that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

In this regard, he will not give up, once the rejuvenation medicine is really developed, then that wizard will have unparalleled prestige in the entire wizarding world.

Neville, who was in a group with Hermione, was in trouble while Toby and Jamie were discussing, Neville often made a mess in Potions class, which was the worst he had ever learned, and he was terrified of Professor Snape, which made things ten times worse.

“Orange, Longbottom.”

Professor Snape scooped some potions from the crucible with a spoon, then slowly poured it back into the crucible so that everyone could see better.

“Orange. Tell me, child, what can penetrate your elm head? Didn’t you hear me say clearly, just need the spleen of a mouse? ”

“Didn’t we make it clear that a little leech juice is enough? How can I say it so that you understand? Longbottom? ”

Professor Snape began to spit venom at Neville.

Neville blushed and trembled, almost crying.

“Please, sir, please, I can help Neville get better-” Hermione couldn’t bear to see Neville like this, and said to Professor Snape.

“I don’t seem to have asked you to come out and show off, Miss Granger.”

Professor Snape said coldly, then he turned his head to Neville.

“Longbottom, at the end of this lesson, we’re going to feed your toad a few drops of this potion and see what happens, which may motivate you to boil the medicine well.”

After Professor Snape finished speaking, he strode away, but Neville was so frightened that he didn’t even dare to breathe.

“I don’t know why Neville is so afraid of Professor Snape, if it is just a reprimand, other professors have reprimanded him, but he is only afraid of Professor Snape.”

Toby shook his head and said.

“Probably, Professor Snape is Neville’s destined nemesis.”

Jamie said with a shrug.

Professor Snape just walked behind Toby and Jamie, and couldn’t help but frown when he saw the two gathered together again.

“Mr. Rigpo, as a famous genius in Gryffindor, I thought you would teach everyone well.”

“But, you look at Longbottom…”

Although Professor Snape did not continue, everyone understood what he meant.

“Professor Snape, isn’t it supposed to be the professor’s responsibility to teach students, why is it on me now?”

Toby said in confusion.

“Hmph! Mr. Rigpo, Gryffindor will be deducted 20 points for you bumping into the professor. ”

Professor Snape seemed to have waited for Toby to say something, deducted 20 Gryffindor points without saying anything, and then left with a happy mood.

“I see, he deliberately found a way to take revenge on me, Professor Snape is still so careful, no wonder Harry’s mother didn’t choose him.”

Toby shrugged and said…
